AND FINALLY Leyland SDM prepares charity challenge


Leyland SDM’s team of more than 20 colleagues at a leading decorating and DIY specialist are preparing to trek 15 miles to raise money for London’s child poverty charity.


The team from Leyland SDM will walk from Mile End to Kingston upon Thames on November 19 to support The Childhood Trust. Cliff Rendell, people director at Leyland SDM, said: “Charity and fundraising is a key part of our ethos and we’re proud to have raised more than £120,000 for good causes over the last four years.


“We really admire The Childhood Trust and wanted to support them, particularly as their valuable work takes place in London, which is where all 33 of our stores are located. “It’s a long way to walk but we’re all up for the challenge and looking forward to it. It’ll be a new way for us to see the capital while raising vital funds.” The Childhood Trust is London’s leading child poverty charity. London is one of the richest cities in the world but the charity says 700,000 children in London live in poverty, the majority of whom are from working families.


Laurence Guinness, chief executive of The Childhood Trust, said: “With growing numbers of children falling into poverty we must do all we can to provide support. A huge thanks to the team at Leyland SDM for getting involved. We’ll be following their progress every step of the way.”


TG Lynes provides £15,000 for local community


TG Lynes’ Helping Hand campaign awards the Ruth Winston Community Centre, in Palmers Green, with £10,000 worth of materials and labour. Southbury Primary School in Ponders End, meanwhile, is also celebrating after securing £5,000 worth of support from the heating, plumbing and air movement materials supplier.


Maria Ortiz Vega, centre/accounts manager at The Ruth Winston Community Centre, said: “We are overwhelmed to secure this funding. “We have over 500 members from across the Enfield borough area, and provide a bright, welcoming environment where people from all walks of life can join in a wide range of activities” “This funding from TG Lynes will help


us to improve facilities for our disabled users and also makemore activity space for the community.”

Rebecca Panteli, headteacher at Southbury Primary School, said: “We are determined to provide the very best environment possible for our 420 pupils, but school budgets are a challenge. To receive the support of TG Lynes will make a significant difference.”
